About Aishwarya

Aishwarya Kulkarni is a psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works from a person-centred stance and aims to create a space where people can drop the need to appear 'fine' and speak honestly about what they are living through. Her style is warm and collaborative, and she invites clients to set the pace of therapy.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns that began in early relationships. Psychodynamic thinking helps her and the person she sees notice repeated themes that turn up in present life. Motivational interviewing and client-centred work are used to help people clarify what they want to change and find their own motivation to do it.

Aishwarya supports people with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, ADHD, grief, and work-related stress. She also addresses areas such as body image, codependency, caregiver stress and coping with major life changes. Men’s wellbeing is listed among the areas she works with, alongside LGBT and other relationship concerns.

Sessions are conducted in English and she also speaks Hindi and Marathi. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Practical hobbies like painting and Kathak dance inform her sense of creativity and movement in therapy.

Aishwarya encourages people to reach out when they feel ready. To begin, visitors are invited to use the platform’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Aishwarya’s approaches translate to online work

Aishwarya uses attachment-based ideas to help people notice how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach looks at how connection and trust affect feelings and behaviour, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy worries.

She also works from a client-centred foundation, which means sessions focus on the person's experience and priorities. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own ways forward, often useful for anxiety, depression and life changes.

Motivational interviewing is used to support change when someone feels stuck or unsure. It involves gently exploring ambivalence and helping a person identify their own reasons for change, which can be helpful with addictions, habits and lifestyle shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the first few sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the person's needs, goals and preferences, and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.

The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone work with a therapist who speaks their language even if they live elsewhere. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical benefits while helping people work on the issues that brought them to therapy.
